# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all those cozy holiday flavors without the post-meal carb crash that usually follows festive feasting
- The roasted vegetables develop this incredible sweetness that pairs perfectly with the smoky grilled chicken
02 -
- Dont overcrowd your baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, losing that precious caramelization
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking so all those juices stay inside instead of running onto your cutting board
03 -
